Question

There have been many film adaptations of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. How do most film adaptations differ from the original text version of the story? They make the story more exciting by only giving Victor’s version. They create more sympathy for the creature by giving him a back story. They create less sympathy for the creature by making him a mindless beast. They are less complex because they lack the multiple perspectives of the novel.

Answer 1

I would say the correct answer is that they create less sympathy for the creature by making him a mindless beast.
In the book, Frankenstein's monster is a sentient being, able to speak, think, and feel. In the movies, however, he is portrayed as a beast, unable to do any of the things mentioned in the book, except to go around killing people, which is not the point of the book.
